yuletide | Beta Readers: offering to be one, finding one

Here is the unofficial form to offer to be a beta, for spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPAG) only; non-English languages; areas of expertise; and/or specific fandoms. Include a machine-readable email address and you'll get a copy of your answers and the link to edit your responses in a handy reference email.

Here is the spreadsheet where responses are collected and, when time permits, manually indexed.

If you need a beta for a fandom or a topic that isn't on the spreadsheet yet, you can (1) try the IRC chat or the Discord server; (2) post here ANONYMOUSLY to say "I could really use a beta about X!" and see if anyone adds something to the spreadsheet or comments here to give your their contact information.

Let me know if you have any questions!

(I no longer post to LJ, if someone wants to post a link there, feel free.)

(Edit October 2 10pm: reverted form to old version of Google Forms so I could specify a font size, because the new version was so tiny that I think people were missing important bits of the instructions.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You may want to include a link to the Yuletide Discord server as well, since a lot of folks have moved there from IRC.

done, thanks!

I need help with a specific canon. How can I find someone who can help me with said canon? I don't seem to see fandoms listed.

Check the tabs at the bottom!

Anyone up for betaing (and Britpicking, though that's less important) a short fic (<1500 words) for a feminist fairy tale? I can provide both the original tale and my fic. Thanks!

I'd be happy to. rose at t o c o t o x dot net.

That would be great, thanks! Just want to make sure you're not the recipient before I send it over, so could you share your AO3 name, please?

Never mind about the AO3 name - I clicked and figured it out (I think my anonymity blinded me to the fact that you weren't anonymous!). Sending soon!

What's the right process to go through if you find someone on the list who is advertising a fandom or expertise you want a beta for? Contacting them directly through email? Or some other method?

Through the email on the sheet!

Seeking beta for an Akatsuki no Yona | Yona of the Dawn Yuletide gift.

~4.3k, Gen, Rated G. Canon knowledge preferred, bonus points if you can check anime vs. manga canon.

If you can help, please reply with your Ao3 name and contact info. Thanks!

(Note: I've already been in touch with the one person listed on the spreadsheet for the fandom and they've been too busy to beta.)

I've found someone now, so I'll quit checking this post. Thanks!

Seeking beta for a True Detective Marty/Rust Yuletide Madness fic. Mainly looking for theme and character beta. ~2.6k words.

As it's Yuletide Madness, I'd need it back today. Sorry for the short notice! I only just finished.
